Answer:

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 14

Variance is 9.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

So

\sigma = \sqrt{9} = 3

Calculate the probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 12. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12 - 14}{3}

Z = -0.67

Z = -0.67 has a pvalue of 0.2514.

1-0.2514 = 0.7486

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

\bf \begin{cases}
x=1\implies &x-1=0\\
x=1\implies &x-1=0\\
x=-\frac{1}{2}\implies 2x=-1\implies &2x+1=0\\
x=2+i\implies &x-2-i=0\\
x=2-i\implies &x-2+i=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(x-1)(x-1)(2x+1)(x-2-i)(x-2+i)=\stackrel{original~polynomial}{0}
\\\\\\
(x-1)^2(2x+1)~\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{[(x-2)-(i)][(x-2)+(i)]}

\bf (x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[(x-2)^2-(i)^2]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[(x^2-4x+4)-(-1)]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[(x^2-4x+4)+1]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[x^2-4x+5]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)(x^2-4x+5)

of course, you can always use  (x-1)(x-1)(2x+1)(x²-4x+5)  as well.

The graph below shows graph of f (x), its derivative f '(x), and its second derivative f "(x). Which of the following is the cor
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A is f ", B is f, C is f '.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer is correct.  B is the original function f.  It has a local maximum at x=0, and local minimums at approximately x=-3/2 and x=3/2.

C is the first derivative.  It crosses the x-axis at each place where B is a min or max.  C itself has a local maximum at approximately x=-3/4 and a local minimum at approximately x=3/4.

Finally, A is the second derivative.  It crosses the x-axis at each place where C is a min or max.
